I wonder what you mean by "compliant
[Read the article: Act like a man (who knows what that means)!]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]The same thing that feminists mean when they say that when women have their own money the relationship is more equal i.e the woman gets everything that matters her own way.
-
you seem a little confused about the concept of anonymity and pseudoanonymity
[Read the article: Act like a man (who knows what that means)!]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]maybe we should vote in public too (actually there are semi good arguments either way there).
-
just to point out for the record I have never said anything about the motives of women in these situations
[Read the article: Act like a man (who knows what that means)!]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]other than to point to some politically motivated "lack of awareness" of the facts of biology.
-
men and women look for BASICALLY the same things
[Read the article: Act like a man (who knows what that means)!]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]but for reasons of biology men are more focused on sex and related emotions and care less about other things and are therfore more tolerant.
-
he must have been a REALLY bad fuck
[Read the article: Whiz-bang commercial: Awesome or awful?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]for her to dislike him this much after she was willing to bring him home. Actually if he was that bad why was he still there.
-
Just where ARE these places that are apparently so grungy that a woman would go to this "extreme" measure to avoid skin-to-seat contact???
[Read the article: Whiz-bang commercial: Awesome or awful?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]My house for one, my girlfriend pisses all over the seat all the time. I've been tempted more that once to "practice" pissing through the hole rather than lifting the seat up just to make a point (she doesn't need this device though because she's the only female who uses this bathroom, actually she DOES need it but she has no reason to think so).
-
If this takes off, there'll be an army of giggling menfolk saying seven words to women they never thought possible: "Put the lid down when you're done!"
[Read the article: Whiz-bang commercial: Awesome or awful?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Why would men EVER say this, men unlike women apparently, know that they have to make sure the seat is down BEFORE they sit down. In fact if men had a preference it would be for the seat to ALWAYS be left up so no one pisses on it (no men anyway). It's kind of funny that women feel all righteous and superior that men don't memorize 20 different laundry settings but most women apparently can't manage to remember a two position toilet seat.
-
Obama supporters may be nuts but there is no reason to think he is
[Read the article: Hey, Obama boys: Back off already!]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]he actually looks pretty reliable. Once he is president his fervent supporters won't really be that important to him, because unlike Bush Obama actually wants to govern well.
-
is she NECESSARILY unhinged
[Read the article: I now pronounce you ... seriously unhinged]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]sure it makes her look bad and presumably would in a general sense "cost" her, but without knowing specifics you can't say for sure that it is worse for her than for him, and it is theoretically possible that this is a rational attempt to get "justice", I admit this looks unlikely.
-
no le castor you are totally wrong about my personal situation, and if you look at other things i have written it is probably fairly clear what is going on
[Read the article: Act like a man (who knows what that means)!]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I am simply looking at the social and biological facts of life as they manifest in the world generally in regard to males and females, you and the other "gender is a social construct and men and women are the same" crowd are choosing to ignore those facts and propagandize in the service of a political and cultural agenda. Really there is no need for a lot of metaphysical speculation about what is going on.
-
there's a ton of evidence
[Read the article: Act like a man (who knows what that means)!]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]this just isn't the place to compile it and you know it. No summary or passing reference that could reasonably, or unreasonably, be put here is going to resolve anything.
-
women and men are different, they see things differently and have somewhat different agendas, goals, and ways of acheiving them, this results in conflict which causes problems for women AND men
[Read the article: Quote of the day]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]but as long as feminists refuse to admit that there LEGITIMATE differences that need to be dealt with and instead insist that men and women either are or should be the same or alternatively (often contradictorily or incoherently and unconsciously) that whenever there are real differences men should always defer to women it is going to be difficult to solve anything.
Consciously or subconsciously a lot of women know that there isn't going to be a voluntary resolution and are relying on the coming economic and political obsolesence of male strength and aggression and women's somewhat increased freedom from the demands of reproductive biology combined with increased female educational success to simply dictate terms. The labeling of any unacceptable views as misogyny regardless of the motive or the manner in which they are delivered demonstrates this approach which seems to be relatively successful so far.
-
I should have added, that this is what is behind the absurd negative response many men have to Hillary Clinton
[Read the article: Quote of the day]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]even though none of this has really anything to do with her and she and Obama are political twins basically.
-
this is interesting,
[Read the article: Survey: Women looser with their passwords than men]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]i would have thought that being bigger worriers women would have been more cautious than men
-
dominance and success as a member of a team is a more reliable indicator of high social status and the future ability to provide support than success as a "loner"
[Read the article: Do women prefer men who play team sports?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]besides this, women are more social, they have their own "social teams" i.e. cliques, and the subordinate females worship and love the alpha girls in a way that would be the envy...hmm..maybe not.. of any male leader (this also explains why women who reach positions of authority often feel dissed by there male subordinates, NO male ever gets worshiped by his same sex subordinates the way an alpha girl does).
-
And women are still attracted to guys with pronounced supraorbital ridges and knuckles that drag the ground.
[Read the article: Do women prefer men who play team sports?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]this is actually literally true, almost everyone has heard of the studies which show that women are most attracted to men with the most "testosteroneized" features, heavy jaw, etc. when they are at the most fertile point of their cycle.
-
what has it moved on to
[Read the article: Women's studies, still alive and fist-shaking]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]perhaps it has moved from studying how bad men are to studying the fact that they are "really" just like women, or have I got the direction of movement reversed.
-
someone has probably already pointed out that the only place semen can be found which will provide you with MEANINGFUL information
[Read the article: The evil future is now: Semen detection kits]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]is in the girls panties
-
Never underestimate the power of the vagina.
[Read the article: Do women prefer men who play team sports?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]This is the truth alright, there's no other explanation for how an anti male female supremacist ideology could become universally accepted as an aspiration for equality.
-
men are invisible unless they are young and hot too, or rich or unless they FORCE people to pay attention
[Read the article: Ain't no party like a quilting bee party]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]and the standards men have to meet for hotness are higher than those for women.
-
actaully men, unlike women, don't get a pass from invisibility simply by virtue of being young either
[Read the article: Ain't no party like a quilting bee party]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]most women, at least when young, are considered worth SOMEBODYS attention.
-
you actually have alluded by implication to the reason that old people might seem happier: they've given up on sex
[Read the article: Ain't no party like a quilting bee party]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]it happens to men too, to some degree at least, it just takes longer than with women.
-
i don't have to assume it, I can read on broadsheet, and everywhere else, women gloating about the fact that they no longer care
[Read the article: Ain't no party like a quilting bee party]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Are you suggesting they are being less than honest with themselves and others? Independent of self reporting by women I hear old guys get turned down by old women too, (it may be true that among the truly elderly the rejection ratio between the sexes may become somewhat more equal, although probably it's a question of capability more than anything else).
-
QED maybe, but....there are quite a few surveys showing that lots of people even in "relationships" have sex rarely or never
[Read the article: Ain't no party like a quilting bee party]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]and it gets "worse" with age, so the facts suggest the situation isn't ALL projection on my and others part.
-
bulima actually means a compulsion to eat excessively,
[Read the article: Old, fat, male ... and bulimic?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]barfing is a way to avoid (some of) the ill effects.
-
I think the distinction can be pretty fine, though, can't it?tried (without a lot of success) to "purge." This was way before anyone was talking about bulima. I went from thin to chubby, also, from the binging.
[Read the article: Old, fat, male ... and bulimic?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]The point here may be that two people can experience the EXACT SAME motivation and compulsion to overeat, but for unrelated reasons one may be more concerned about getting fat and will barf and one may be less so and will not.
